The story of 19-year-old Russian Vladislav Naumov is an example of how one wrong decision can change a whole life. He was imprisoned for drug distribution and went to war in Ukraine.

    i did some looking and basically, the NGOs that monitor/soft-enforce the Geneva convention are giving Ukraine a pass on video usages like this since Russia

    1. refuses to acknowledge or frame this as a war
    2. is mistreating their POWs much worse
    3. is committing even worse atrocities

    so… yeah it’s not strictly speaking good that Ukraine released this footage, but it’s kind of being internationally recognized as necessary given the circumstances. those NGOs have set the standard that the subjects of videos like this must not suffer excessive or unnecessary indignity
